Social Work, Social Welfare, and American Society provides students with a political perspective on social welfare–with definitions of liberal, conservative and radical positions–in order to help them better appreciate the political context of social welfare programs.

• NEW! Full-Color design helps highlight the numerous & updated charts, figures, photographs and boxed material throughout the text.
• Revised Chapter 4 demonstrates generalist practice methods and approaches, as well as ethical dilemmas students might face in practice.
• Revised Chapter 5 provides students with a broad view of how diversity issues affect the population, their clients and their profession. 
• NEW! coverage of the following areas: Hispanic immigration to the U.S., diversity, the profession of social work, social work and politics, poverty, child welfare, mental health, health care, social work and religion, housing/homelessness/community development, aging, crime, criminal justice, and more!
• NEW! Half of the opening case vignettes have been replaced.

What the reviewers are saying...

 

“Top strengths include the overall approach, the chapters on religion and developing your own perspective, and the “What Americans Believe” sections.   I will consider using Social Work, Social Welfare and American Society for my course for its strengths.”

----Kristi O’Dell, University of Mississippi

 

“The thing I like most about this text is the infusion of political perspectives throughout.  I believe this approach helps our students understand the strong connection between people’s lives, social services and the political environment.  Many have never stopped to question their own affiliations or associated platforms.  I also think the text covers most issues thoroughly and with care.”    

-------Laura Lowe,   Texas Tech University
